OUR OWN WORST ENEMY

“We have met the enemy and he is us.” Walt Kelly’s Pogo. How was human population growth affected by the structure of our planet? We will examine several models of population growth to see how humans fit into various reproductive strategies. Is it possible that we can draw an analogy between human growth rate and a fermenting vat of beer? Using several chapters from Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs and Steel we will see how the structure of our planet has affected population growth around the globe. This will be a 4-week course. The course will run from 9/16 to 10/7. Required text: Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond, ISBN 0-393-31755-2
